LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features
(manualdousuario.net)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
I'm a simple support who occasionally work with personal data stored in CSV and JSON. Libreoffice sucks. For example: deduplication hiden behind "create autofilters > press on any filter > filter by condition > standard filter > remove selected field > press options > no duplications". Cool, eh? And for some reason it doesn't work if at least one field selected, which is completely unintuitive. There other quirks too, like completely hidden in settings function to display more than 1 million rows, wich is disabled by default and there no notification that your document exceed this. I already forgot other issues that I faced with it, but yeah, not a fan of it. It's good untill you start actually use it.
That being said, it's free, open source and works most of the time, especially if you just need to view some data, from this side of things it have almost zero competition.
Did you send a ticket about those bugs?
It's not a bug, it's a feature that was made like that from the start. Link1 , Link2 , Link3. It also a known issue that you can't deduplicate sorted\filtered table. Just not a thing. Deal with it.
No, I have not. I did my share of reporting bugs and requesting features in OSS, but assholes like dude below will never be happy about me, cause how dare I to call out on obvious flaw in open software! OSS doesn't have issues, YOU LYING! I'm done. Kinda burned out. OSS community sucks and can go fuck itself.
LOL. I knew you'd be along.
Is that what you intended to say? Or do you have actual argument against what I said?
